• "Overcoming a dualistic heritage (however strongly those dualistic presuppositions seem to belong to religious knowledge) brings one into the sphere in which ordinary reality is saturated with the sacred. Religion is made up of nothing special — the ordinary is holy or potentially holy: since the object of the religious is no-thing. It's images can be improvised from oatmeal boxes and sand sculpture. The apprehension of the sacred is manifested in an imaginal relationship with the divine — reinventing the ordinarily sacred."

• "A sacred text is a means of divining one's inner self and one's relationship to the world of meaning.

• "Changes in metaphor are changes in religion. The change in religion is the iconoclastic breakdown of the dualistic paradigm and the remythologizing of the world (word) that permits a polyvalent playfulness, a sacralizing of the human experience, an apprehension of the divine in the ordinary."
